Firearms in the Islamic World during the Middle Ages

• The armies of the Islamic world, such as the Mamluks, used gunpowder bombs against the Mongols and Crusaders since the 13th century. The Mongols were defeated in 1260, and the Crusaders were expelled from Acre in 1291..+

• During the Mongol campaign against China in 1276, they relied on Arab engineers from Iraq and Iran to develop an Arab-style trebuchet that launched bombs over longer distances.

• The armies of the Islamic world used an incendiary substance from Iraq

The ancient capital of Armenia, designed and supervised by the Phoenician Carthaginian Hannibal

During the journey of the Canaanite Cadmus in search of his sister Europa, it is mentioned that Arabs accompanied him. Those Arabs then settled in Greece and lived in ancient times in the land of the island of Euboea, whose capital was Chalcis.

It is clear that these Arabs came from Phoenicia-Canaan (from Latakia to Gaza), as evidenced by the fact that Cadmus was Phoenician, so perhaps their origin was from the Arabs of Phoenicia.

Before the Prophetic Mission, the Arabs had an expanse from Britain in the west to India in the east, where they lived in the form of commercial, settled, or military garrison communities.

THREAD 🧵 Response to @InfidelNoodle Setting the Record Straight on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

InfidelNoodle, your claims show either deliberate ignorance or a total misunderstanding of the sources. Let’s see if you’re Objections actually hold up, one by one.

Her first claim against the Prophet ﷺ is that he “kept, bought, and sold slaves.” However This is not a strong argument. Historian Robert William Fogel explains that for 3,000 years from the time of Moses to the end of the 17th century virtually every major statesman,

[The Holy Kiss in Christianity]

The Gospel recommends the holy kiss or kiss of love:

Romans 16:16 – “Greet one another with a holy kiss.”
1 Corinthians 16:20 – “Greet one another with a holy kiss.” 1/8 Greet one another with a holy kiss (2 Cor 13:12)

The Gospel commanded it; initially men kissed men and women kissed women. Then came transgressions, reaching (per Will Durant) what religion forbids. Tertullian saw it as sexual licentiousness.

There are many lost books of the Bible, and in the Old Testament alone, 23 books are mentioned by name but are no longer extant. THREAD 🧵 Among these lost books is the “Book of the Wars of the Lord,” mentioned in Numbers 21:14 “Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of the Lord ‘Waheb in Suphah and the valleys of Arnon.’”

The “Biblical Encyclopedia” says it’s one of many Old Testament books now unknown to us

THREAD 🧵 Did God Fail to Preserve the Previous Scriptures?

The objection:

Allah ﷻ mentions in several places in the Qur’an that the previous scriptures were altered, and that His final Book is the only one that will be preserved from any form of corruption until the Day of
Judgment:

“Indeed, it is We who sent down the Reminder, and indeed, We will be its Guardian.” (Qur’an 15:9)

This raises a “question” in the minds of the People of the Book and atheists whether innocent or not:
Why didn’t God preserve the previous scriptures?

The Doubt (Shubhah):

Hafs recited it as “fidyatun ta‘āmu miskīn” (a ransom of feeding one poor person), while Warsh recited it as “fidyatun ta‘āmu masākīn” (a ransom of feeding poor people).
So, which one is correct? 🧵


The Response:

First:

All the Qur’anic recitations (qirāʾāt) are divinely revealed and do not contradict one another.

Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“There is no disagreement among Muslims that the seven aḥruf (modes) upon which the Qur’an was revealed do

Christianity’s excommunication history is extreme: Jesus and Paul were excommunicated, all pre-atonement souls damned non-Christians condemned to hell denominations curse each other unbaptized children excluded and dissent punished a faith rooted in exclusion not mercy. THREAD 🧵


Atonement in Christianity: In the Van Dyck translation, unbelievers are linked with wrath and divine judgment. Acts, 1 & 2 Maccabees show unbelievers as enemies of God highlighting a harsh, exclusionary atonement theme.

The Rafidah insult Mother Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and claim that she used to try to seduce men. Their so-called evidence is the following narration:

“From ‘Ammar ibn ‘Imran, a man from the Zaydiyyah, from a woman among them, from Aisha that she adorned..+ 1/4
a slave girl and made her perform tawaf, saying: ‘Perhaps we can attract some of the youth of Quraysh with her.’”

Our response: The chain of narration is weak due to two unknown individuals:

‘Ammar ibn ‘Imran and the unnamed woman he reports from.

THREAD 🧵 Who are the writers of the Gospels? Were they eyewitnesses? And how important is the answer? It was stated in the book Encyclopedia of Church Fathers:

“The issue of identifying the author of the epistle was crucial to the Church, as its canonicity depended on it.

Thus, authorship was vital, since recognizing the book as canonical relied on it.”

According to the Bible, the Earth is flat with four corners. But according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, the Earth is spherical by the consensus of Muslim scholars, including Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn al-Qayyim. THREAD 🧵


“He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night” this only makes sense if the Earth is spherical, with night and day rotating around it.

The Crusades were wars to spread Christianity by the sword first called by Pope Sylvester II and launched 93 years later under a false pretext. Crusaders even massacred and converted Jews who weren’t part of the conflict. We’ll explore this through their own historians’ accounts.


After Pope Sylvester II renewed the call, Popes Gregory VII and Urban II followed. Under Urban, the wars began—based on Bible texts and Church teachings to seize the Holy City, convert or kill Muslims, Jews, and other Christians, and plunder their wealth and women.

THREAD 🧵 The Double Life of Mosab Hassan Yousef: A Fraud Exposed

Mosab Hassan Yousef the ex-Muslim, ex-Palestinian who claims he was once in Hamas before spying for Israel is not who you think he is. In this thread, I’ll expose the lies behind his story and who he really is. Mosab Hassan Yousef was born May 5, 1978, in Ramallah. He’s the eldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding leader of Hamas. Raised in a devout and political home, he was the oldest of eight siblings. His story would soon take an unexpected turn.
